    Summary

    When prima ballerina Nesta Archeron's breaks her ankle during a performance of Giselle, the Prythian Ballet Company gives her six months to recover. It isn't enough. Now faced with the end of her career at twenty-seven, Nesta retreats into bitter isolation until her neighbor's violin disrupts her self-imposed solitude.

    Tamlin Thorne, an experimental composer with his own scars, sees beyond her injury to the dancer she still is.
